i've installed this package, done the command again, here is the terminal :

laurent at laurent-laptop:~$ sudo dkms -k 2.6.28-3-rt build  -m fglrx -v 8.600
[sudo] password for laurent:

Error! This module/version has already been built on: 2.6.28-3-rt
Directory: /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.600/2.6.28-3-rt/i686
already exists.  Use the dkms remove function before trying to build again.

a new boot with fglrx activated done the same trouble with X.

So a get a new boot under generic kernel, desactivate flgrx driver, free 
radeon driver has been activated, then a reboot on rt-kernel.

I've get a usable desktop. video resolution is ok, refreshing rate seems 
to be ok too. I didn't test acceleration and 3D effects, but under fglrx 
there is many trouble with compiz activated, so i'm waiting.

the loaded kernel was an rt one, as the command tell it :

laurent at laurent-laptop:~$ uname -a
Linux laurent-laptop 2.6.28-3-rt #9-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Fri Mar 27 
23:23:50 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

so, i load qjackctl and try rt with my two sound card.

- if i have rt on with internal sound card (bad one) hw0 -> jackd crash
- if i have rt on with external sound card USB (good one) hw1 -> jackd crash

and said this :

07:40:14.871 /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:1 -r44100 -p64 -n2

for memory, hw1 is working fine under hardy studio 8.04 64 bits RT with 
64 frames/periode and 2,6ms for latency, hw0 is working but with few xruns.

i've done the same test, but without checking the rt checkbox in qjackctl.

same result for hw1 on usb, the sound card never work...and the 
frame/period change nothing.
for hw0, a surprising result, with 512 frame/periode, 26,3ms for latency 
(so a bad one), the card is working not too bas, with few xruns. I've 
tried at 256 frames/periodes with ardour reading a wav file, and 
hydrogen playing a drumkit, recorded in ardour, it's working with few 
xruns. below 256, too many xruns.

for conclusion, the internal sound card is working a little bit better 
than in hardy studio rt, but the usb one is not working at all.
